What did Robert Scott aim to do?

Answer 1

Robert Scott aimed to be the first to reach the South Pole during his Antarctic expeditions in the early 20th century. His primary goal was to conduct scientific research and establish a British presence in the region, as well as to achieve the prestigious milestone of being the first to arrive at the pole. Scott's journey culminated in 1912 when he and his team reached the South Pole, only to find that Norwegian explorer Roald Amundsen had beaten them there. Tragically, Scott and his team perished on the return journey.
